I'm Raymond Mar. My life is filled with new successes and new experiences. I recently experience a step backwards losing who I am. I'm happy the step backwards was short. I grew up again. I found new strength, new wisdom, and the old Raymond Mar from 2009-2012. The biggest success since 2011 is I found a new job. My new life is coming soon. The curses disappeared. There is new hope and new faith. Never take anything and anyone for granted.

*Drank pomegranate for the first time. Very rich.

*Got sick on Sat. It's not a positive. However, my recovery is faster and less agony compared to when I was sick two times in 2008. I'm taking Tylenol Cold and Allergy. My body is sensitive to a wide range of temperature changes and indoor dry air.

*Cleaned up my room including moving furniture and throwing away junk. There is more room to move around. Yay! More junk to be removed. Cleaning continues Sat Jan 3.

*Celebrated New Year's Eve in San Francisco with Appu. Ate dinner at my cousin's Japanese restaurant "Happy Sashimi" in Pinole. Website is www.eathappysashimi.com. In San Francisco, saw a fight, public drunkenness, person beaten up (medical and police arrived to aid the victim), drinking, smoking, and the fireworks XD Drove on the winding Lombard St. Also saw an accident and Highway Patrol pulled over a reckless driver on the way home. Next year correct mistakes and invite more friends who were not invited unintentionally. Happy New Year!

About Me

Get up and do something, anything is my life motto. The irony is true: live a good life, live a happy life, one must work intelligently to achieve them. Earn them. I don't take life for granted. Be active. Be open. I always seek new experiences and adventures. Boredom kills life's motivation. Meet new people. Create new circle of friends. Exercise your body. Exercise your mind. Strong bodies, strong minds. Spend wisely. Rest is important. Feel a good person. Be a good person.
